Su Bai nearly stood up to applaud.
A dramatic turnaround—he hadn't expected the Super Bi Beast to truly make a discovery that transcended eras.
"This may be a small step for an insect, but it's a giant leap for the entire world."
He hurriedly jotted down the coordinates, even assigning a number to the meteorite:
Meteorite No. 1.
"This is a treasure that exists in reality too. The greatest advantage of the simulator is its ability to uncover all kinds of intel."
Su Bai knew—
He was born with disadvantages and severely lacked resources. He had to seize every opportunity!
But unfortunately, the meteorite wasn't brought back.
And despite finally expanding to 90 kilometers, without a way to solidify the landmass or save progress,
this simulation was more than half wasted!
Just as he was lamenting, among the simulation text,
a line of blue lettering flashed through.
[Reminder: The Super Bi Beast broke through its limits. Drawing upon a full era of space environment research and inspired by the underwater breathing mechanism,
it awakened a Blue Talent just before death: Cosmic Gut!]
[As the World Master, you automatically acquire this Talent.]
[Cosmic Gut (Blue):
A Talent awakened by the transcendent creature Super Bi Beast.
Allows for respiration in space and initial resistance to radiation and extreme cold.
Though still primitive, it opens a new evolutionary path with broad application.]
(Self-awakened Talent; does not occupy Talent slots.)
"This Talent… it's a divine technique!"
Su Bai felt this Talent was no less valuable than an orange-tier one.
Evolving into a cosmic-level being would normally cost unimaginable time, effort, and resources.
Even for gifted elites, transitioning from homeworld to the cosmos—hunting under the stars—was a monumental rite of passage.
It marked the difference between an apprentice World Master and a full-fledged one.
The importance of this Talent couldn't be overstated.
It could save Su Bai an enormous amount of resources.
Of course, it was still elementary.
The Talent required a certain level of physical fitness to function and only enabled survival—not true space travel or combat, let alone meteor-hauling.
But with this Talent, all those goals became possible.
Su Bai continued reading.
[Late Fourth Era:
The tragic failure of the Super Bi Beast's space expedition devastated the insectoid faction led by the Unicorn Beetle Beast.
They began to decline, fading from the stage of history.]
[The Eye Demon and the Lord of the Four Seas were both stricken with grief.]
[Falling into despair, the Lord of the Four Seas conceived a bold, reckless plan—to perform a mysterious ritual, guided by the whispers in its ears.]
"It's happening again."
Su Bai's eyelid twitched.
Piecing together the previous text,
he was certain that something out in the cosmos had already set its sights on the Tianyuan Realm—
and was particularly fixated on the Lord of the Four Seas.
Even if it didn't carry out the ritual, that entity would act eventually.
"If I had to guess, it'd be an Outer God faction, humanity's great enemy. But which one?"
Su Bai had little knowledge of cosmic lore. Even the teachers discussed it with extreme caution.
Thankfully, this was just a simulation. In real life—
If he truly equipped that kind of Talent,
Su Bai was pretty sure he'd be dead before even graduating.
The Tianyuan Realm would just become someone else's asset.
To his surprise, another fate divergence appeared at this moment.
[Fate Divergence:
Your devout believer, the Lord of the Four Seas, is desperate and plans to seek aid from an unknown entity.
It's deeply uneasy, unsure whether it might offend you.
In its heart, it seeks your opinion.
Will you intervene?]
[1. If you want to be a traitor, so be it. I'll let you go.]
[2. This is my domain. No one else may interfere!
But I shall issue a Divine Oracle—
Inform them of Meteorite No. 1's coordinates.
Command them to retrieve it at all costs and advance the land to 100 kilometers!]
Was there even a choice here?
Of course he chose Option 2 without hesitation!
That meteorite wasn't something they could handle… yet.
As soon as he confirmed his decision, the text updated.
[A bolt of lightning struck the altar, disrupting the ritual.
The Lord of the Four Seas trembled and knelt, begging for your forgiveness.]
[You manifested, warning them of the cosmos' dangers—
the horrors of alien races and Outer Gods.
You revealed the coordinates of Meteorite No. 1, discovered through the Super Bi Beast's noble sacrifice.]
[You then bestowed Cosmic Gut upon all creatures.
You issued the Supreme Divine Oracle:
Retrieve that meteorite at all costs, as quickly as possible,
and push the Tianyuan Realm past the 100-kilometer threshold!]
[You sensed keenly—though the ritual hadn't succeeded,
as time went on, the Koutao Fishmen, the Evil Eyes, and even the Unicorn Beetle Beasts grew increasingly deranged and mutated under despair.]
[A deep, unfathomable gaze brushed against the Tianyuan Realm.
Time is running out.]
"Damn it, I knew it."
Su Bai's heart thudded with unease.
The knowledge the beasts had gained from those eerie whispers—
was now turning against them.
Now it was a race against time.
He had underestimated the importance of hope.
Now that the Divine Oracle had been issued, and everyone knew the Super Bi Beast hadn't died in vain—
with a clear goal ahead—
the world exploded with unimaginable potential.
Everything now revolved around space travel and dragging the meteorite back!
The new Talent allowed even ordinary creatures to join the space effort.
[Early Fifth Era:
Revitalized, the three transcendent races united.
Utilizing Cosmic Gut, they advanced toward Meteorite No. 1.]
[The Lord of the Four Seas extended half its body into space.
Thanks to its incredible adaptability, it spotted Meteorite No. 1—and the resting Super Bi Beast lying atop it.]
[With help from the Evil Eyes, it used its tentacles to retrieve the Super Bi Beast's body.]
[The three transcendent races held a grand funeral in its honor.
But there was no time for grief.
They resumed their great mission—hauling the meteorite home.]
[The Tianyuan Realm, in a final resurgence, squeezed out its last essence from the world's core to sustain them.]
[The world temporarily recovered to 95 kilometers.
The three races were spiritually renewed.]
